Panic buying? This is what the government and news always blames shortages on. The economy is so bad few can afford to panic buy. Panic buying is diversion of blame.

You are horrible citizens how dare you be inequitable..."

Imported produce certainly will be hit but stockpiling bananas doesn’t sound like a good solution.

Went to Sam's on Sunday, there was less than usual, but still plenty of TP (ya, I know before the strike.) No one is thinking of another issue with this strike, nor have I seen it mentioned. There are companies that do ship abroad, and their good will not be shipped. There may be layoffs (if this lasts a long time) as a result and loss of profit.

There are rumors going around to use the strike to create a defining moment for kameltoe's campaign. Some go as far as invoking the 25th, and making her pres...

A lot of the stuff people are hoarding don’t necessarily come from overseas and thru the ports.
